a public right-of-way shall be permitted.
[Added 3-9-2009 by L.L. No. 2-2009]
A. Temporary enclosures. During the installation or construction
of a swimming pool, such swimming pool shall be enclosed by a temporary
enclosure which shall sufficiently prevent any access to the swimming
pool by any person not engaged in the installation or construction
of the swimming pool, and sufficiently provide for the safety of any
such person. Such temporary enclosure may consist of a temporary fence,
a permanent fence, the wall of a permanent structure, any other structure,
or any combination of the foregoing, provided all portions of the
temporary enclosure shall be not less than four feet high, and provided
further that all components of the temporary enclosure shall have
been approved as sufficiently preventing access to the swimming pool
by any person not engaged in the installation or construction of the
swimming pool, and as sufficiently providing for the safety of all
such persons. Such temporary enclosure shall remain in place throughout
the period of installation or construction of the swimming pool and
thereafter until the installation or construction of a complying permanent
enclosure shall have been completed.
B. Permanent enclosures. A temporary swimming pool enclosure described in Subsection
A of this section shall be replaced by a complying permanent enclosure. The installation or construction of the complying permanent enclosure must be completed within 90 days after the later of:
(1)
The date of issuance of the building permit
for the installation or construction of the swimming pool; or
(2)
The date of commencement of the installation
or construction of the swimming pool;
C. Extensions. Upon application of the owner of a swimming
pool, the governmental entity responsible for administration and enforcement
of the Uniform Code with respect to such swimming pool may extend
the time period provided for completion of the installation or construction
of the complying permanent enclosure for good cause, including, but
not limited to, adverse weather conditions delaying construction.
No permission shall be granted for the installation
of any swimming pool, unless the plans therefor meet the minimum Building
Department construction requirements or until the owner of the premises
has filed with the Building Department a certification, approved by
the Village Building Department, or by a professional engineer licensed
by the State of New York, that the drainage of such pool is adequate
and will not interfere with the public water supply system, with existing
sanitary facilities or will not flow over into land or into land of
the adjoining property owner or over or into any abutting street or
any storm sewer. All water must be disposed of through adequate dry
wells.

If the use of the swimming pool should be discontinued or if
the swimming pool should, at any time, be in bad condition, the owner
will, on demand, fill in the pool and excavation to grade and will
not restore the pool to use except upon a further application for
a building permit.
